I remember NASA saying they blackened the stars out of the moon shots as not to confuse the viewers. What's the excuse this time why there is no stars?

UPDATE: The mission specialist claim the command center is downloading the images in almost-real-time (20 seconds delay), what means there's no time for tampering.

Besides the fact that NO stars are seen in the sky whatsoever, pay attention to what seems to be the reflection of the right solar panel on the ground. That look odd to me.


 Quoting: Ford Prefect


You don't really know how photography and video cameras work, do you? When you focus on a brighter subject you have to reduce exposition. As a consequence, less bright objects are not captured anymore because they are now below the sensitivity threshold of the camera sensor or film.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51585334


The problem with your theory, smartass, is that no stars are seen in NASA Apollo images either, even when the cameras were focused in the infinity, and considering that the Moon has a ultra-thin atmosphere, the sky should be filled with stars.
 Quoting: Ford Prefect


I am talking about EXPOSURE. Even cameras focused on infinity or whatever adjust themselves to levels of light. There's no need to go to space, you can see it for yourself here on Earth. But most probably I shouldn't even be arguing with you; you are a BELIEVER, so...

They say the rover will take 5 pics or so, rotating 360° in order to provide a panoramic shot. I just can't wait.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18998741


Video of 1969 through 1976 used vacuum tube based CCD pick ups with a very limited dynamic range. Modern solid state CCD's are able to handle the wide bandwidth required to show the moon's surface correctly in the bright unfiltered sunlight.

Some of the Apollo program's film photographs show the colors closer to what we see here from the Chinese because film had a better ability to capture the wide contrast range.

In the OP's first photo, I find it suspicious that the rover's tracks are so much darker than the undisturbed soil around them. It looks like the wheels dug up moist (therefore darker) soil, which of course wouldn't be possible in a place as bone-crushingly dry as the moon.

I'm kinda wondering what the Gold/Silver colored foil thing is?

Just above the dish antenna?

Probably part of the spacecraft?

Re: UPDATED: China releases TWO NEW pics of the Moon and claims it's the "last time".
Ok folks check this out:

I set StarryNight to the Moon's surface at the approximate location of the landing site on Sinus Iridium (missed by 4° of longitude but I don't think it's a big deal), at the approximate time the rover was deployed (4:35 am ET, 7:35 am here), as you can see in the below images, then I set the compass to a position where the Sun should be matching the shadow of the rover (ignore the shadow of the Apollo astronaut in the background), in attempt to obtain ANY reference in the MOON SKY, or any celestial object that could be seen without disregarding the "exposure" explanation of the shills.

[link to w32i.img-up.net]
[link to m24i.img-up.net]

It turns out that according to StarryNight VENUS should be seen from the Chinese lander even at the lunar daylight, as it was snapped by Apollo 14.

If anyone else here has StarryNight, Google Sky or any other program, and wants to check the lunar sky as seen from the Chinese landing site, the coordinates of Sinus Iridium are 44.1°, -31.5°.

Before you jump too quick to pull the sheeple card, since the whole chassis is wrapped in gold foil, shouldn't there be MORE parts reflecting in the soil as well???

My point is:

1. Where the source of the light that's causing that reflection coming from below the panel?

2. The reflection is not moving accordingly to the irregular terrain.

3. Why there are not other parts reflecting as well?

the very ground itself is a light source. shuning up from below. and then reflecting back.
also in one pic it looks like the other panel is in shadow, so no light to reflect there.

The official explanation to the lack of stars in space images is "daylight exposure of the camera", but the problem is that when you watch a timelapse video made from the ISS, you see plenty of stars even when the station is flying in the orbital daytime.

Nope, the ground may reflect light but it's not a source and there's no fucking way of a dark soil reflecting the sunlight onto the bottom side of solar panel and then bounce it back to the ground.

Plus 90% of the rover's surface is exposed to the sunlight, therefore should be way more than just a small reflection in the ground.
